If you had to boil down Alabama's showdown with Ole Miss into one question, it just might be: Which Bo Wallace will show up?

Even though Wallace is in his third season as the Rebels' starting quarterback, he has been inconsistent at times. Wallace leads the SEC in interceptions this season with six. Nick Saban still believes in Ole Miss' passing game.

"They've made a lot of explosive plays on teams throwing the ball down the field," Saban said. "They've got great play action passes. They've done a really good job. He's done a really good job. Bo has done a very good job of executing those things. I just think the experience is something that you can't instill. It's something that you have to go through and learn. It's a tremendous advantage."

"We expect to compete Saturday," Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. "We expect to have a chance to win it. I know our kids feel that way. I know our coaches feel that way. I don't know that we will. I have no idea what the scoreboard will say at the end. But I expect our kids to go compete and have a shot."
